SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONJP2012-226309A and JP2013-37080A each disclose an imaging lens which is advantageous for high speed focusing and in which the focus lens group is composed of only one lens.
However, as a wide angle type imaging lens, the imaging lens of each of Examples 1 and 2 of JP2012-226309A does not have a sufficient angle of view. As wide angle type imaging lenses, the imaging lens of each of Examples 3 and 4 of JP2012-226309A has a sufficient angle of view, but the total optical length is large and the lens system is not sufficiently miniaturized.
Although the imaging lens described in JP2013-37080A has a small size, it is difficult to ensure a sufficient angle of view while suppressing various aberrations in view of the structure.
The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned situations, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an inner focus type imaging lens having a small size and a wide angle of view and an imaging apparatus comprising the imaging lens.

0.5<Bf/f<1.1 (9)
An imaging apparatus of the present invention comprises the above-mentioned imaging lens of the present invention.

Further, the refractive index and the Abbe number in each conditional expression are based on the d line as the reference wavelength.
Further, surface shapes, signs of refractive powers, radii of curvature of the lenses are assumed as those in paraxial regions in a case where some lenses have aspheric surfaces.

The first lens group has, successively in order from a position closest to the object side, a negative meniscus lens that is convex toward the object side, a lens that is convex toward the object side, and a lens that is concave toward the object side. The third lens group consists of a negative lens. During focusing from the object at infinity to the object at a shortest distance, only the third lens group moves to the image side along the optical axis. The imaging lens satisfies the predetermined conditional expression relating to the focal length of the first lens group and the radius of curvature of the image side surface of the lens closest to the image side in the first lens group. Therefore, it is possible to provide an imaging lens having a small size and a wide angle of view, and an imaging apparatus comprising the imaging lens.
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to drawings.
In order to mount the imaging lens on an imaging apparatus, it is preferable to provide various filters and/or a protective cover glass based on specification of the imaging apparatus. Thus,
The imaging lens of the present embodiment consists of, in order from the object side: a first lens group G1 that has a positive refractive power; an aperture stop St; a second lens group G2 that has a refractive power; a third lens group G3 that has a negative refractive power; and a fourth lens group G4 that has a positive refractive power. The first lens group G1 has, successively in order from a position closest to the object side, a negative meniscus lens that is convex toward the object side, a lens that is convex toward the object side, and a lens that is concave toward the object side. The third lens group G3 consists of a negative lens L3a. During focusing from the object at infinity to the object at a shortest distance, only the third lens group G3 moves to the image side along the optical axis Z.
By providing the first lens group G1 with a positive refractive power, it is possible to minimize the height of the on-axis rays and to minimize the size of the aperture stop St and the diameter of the second lens group G2. Further, in the first lens group G1, successively in order from a position closest to the object side, a negative meniscus lens that is convex toward the object side, a lens that is convex toward the object side, and a lens that is concave toward the object side are provided. Thereby, it is possible to ensure the angle of view while correcting distortion and astigmatism.
By disposing the aperture stop St between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2, the symmetry of the optical system with respect to the aperture stop St is improved. There is an advantage in particularly correcting lateral chromatic aberration.
Since the third lens group G3 as the focusing group is composed of only the negative lens L3a, the weight of the focusing group can be reduced, which contributes to increasing the speed of the autofocus. Further, by adopting a configuration in which only the third lens group G3 moves to the image side along the optical axis Z during focusing from the object at infinity to the object at the shortest distance, the negative refractive power of the third lens group G3 is minimized. As a result, it is possible to suppress occurrence of various aberrations, and it is possible to minimize the diameter of the third lens group G3.
By providing the fourth lens group G4 with a positive refractive power, it is possible to minimize the angle of incidence of rays to the image plane Sim.
Assuming that a focal length of the first lens group G1 is f1 and a radius of curvature of an image side surface of a lens closest to the image side in the first lens group G1 is Ra1, the imaging lens is configured to satisfy Conditional Expression (1). By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (1) to be equal to or less than the lower limit, there is an advantage in correcting spherical aberration. By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (1) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, there is an advantage in ensuring the angle of view while achieving reduction in total optical length. In addition, in a case where Conditional Expression (1-1) is satisfied, it is possible to obtain more favorable characteristics.

It is preferable that the second lens group G2 has a lens that is concave toward the object side, at a position closest to the object side. With such a configuration, occurrence of astigmatism is suppressed, and there is an advantage in ensuring the angle of view.
It is preferable that the second lens group G2 has a cemented lens which is formed by cementing at least one negative lens and at least one positive lens. With such a configuration, there is an advantage in correcting longitudinal chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration.

By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (3) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, Petzval sum can be suppressed, and thus there is an advantage in suppressing field curvature. In addition, in a case where Conditional Expression (3-1) is satisfied, it is possible to obtain more favorable characteristics.

0.07<f/f4<0.6 (3-1)

As a result, it is possible to perform appropriate correction. In addition, in a case where Conditional Expression (4-1) is satisfied, it is possible to obtain more favorable characteristics. By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (4-1) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, it is possible to prevent longitudinal chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration from being excessively corrected.

As a result, there is an advantage in increasing the speed of the autofocus. Further, there is also an advantage in ensuring a space for arranging the mechanical parts on the image side of the second lens group G2 and on the object side of the fourth lens group G4. By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (7) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, the refractive power of the third lens group G3 can be prevented from becoming excessively strong.

Thus, it is possible to minimize the total optical length. By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (8) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, the positive refractive powers of the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 can be prevented from becoming excessively strong. Thus, there is an advantage in suppressing spherical aberration and astigmatism.

Next, numerical examples of the imaging lens of the present invention will be described. First, the imaging lens of Example 1 will be described.
The imaging lens of Example 1 is composed of, in order from the object side, a first lens group G1 composed of four lenses of lenses L1a to L1d, an aperture stop St, a second lens group G2 composed of four lenses L2a to L2d, a third lens group G3 composed of only one lens L3a, and a fourth lens group G4 composed of only one lens L4a.
Table 1 shows basic lens data of the imaging lens of Example 1, Table 2 shows data about specification, and Table 3 shows data about aspheric surface coefficients. Hereinafter, meanings of the reference signs in the tables are, for example, as described in Example 1, and are basically the same as those in Examples 2 to 8.
In the lens data of Table 1, the column of the surface number shows surface numbers. The surface of the elements closest to the object side is the first surface, and the surface numbers sequentially increase toward the image plane side. The column of the radius of curvature shows radii of curvature of the respective surfaces. The column of the surface distance shows distances on the optical axis Z between the respective surfaces and the subsequent surfaces. Further, the column of n shows a refractive index of each optical element at the d line (a wavelength of 587.6 nm (nanometers)), and the column of vd shows an Abbe number of each optical element at the d line (a wavelength of 587.6 nm (nanometers)).
In addition, the sign of the radius of curvature is positive in a case where a surface has a shape convex toward the object side, and is negative in a case where a surface has a shape convex toward the image plane side. In the basic lens data, the aperture stop St and the optical member PP are additionally noted. In a place of a surface number of a surface corresponding to the aperture stop St, the surface number and a term of (stop) are noted.
In the data about the specification of Table 2, values of the focal length f, the back focal length Bf, the F number FNo., and the total angle of view 2ω (°) are noted.
In the lens data of Table 1, the reference sign * is attached to surface numbers of aspheric surfaces, and radii of curvature of the aspheric surfaces are represented by numerical values of paraxial radii of curvature. The data about aspheric surface coefficients of Table 3 shows the surface numbers of the aspheric surfaces and aspheric surface coefficients of the aspheric surfaces. The “E±n” (n: an integer) in numerical values of the aspheric surface coefficients of Table 3 indicates “×10±n”. The aspheric surface coefficients are values of the coefficients KA and Am in aspheric surface expression represented as the following expression.
Zd=C⋅h2/{1+(1−KA⋅C2⋅h2)1/2}+ΣAm⋅hm
Here, Zd is an aspheric surface depth (a length of a perpendicular from a point on an aspheric surface at height h to a plane that is perpendicular to the optical axis and contacts with the vertex of the aspheric surface),
h is a height (a distance from the optical axis),
C is an inverse of a paraxial radius of curvature, and
KA and Am are aspheric surface coefficients, and
Σ at the aspheric surface depth Zd means a sum with respect to m.
In the basic lens data, the data about specification, and the data about variable surface distances, a degree is used as a unit of an angle, and mm (millimeters) is used as a unit of a length, but appropriate different units may be used since the optical system can be used even in a case where the system is enlarged or reduced in proportion.
